Am i the only one to moan about this? haha. Asian youth power! Teamjumba!

They may have been eliminated @ the starting line, but I seriously doubt Michael would have come on again.

omg another TAR15? haha. hmm cos i just read the elimination station of TAR17. michael said they cld have gone further if he had thought more positively..which tells me if given a second chance they will push further. haha

"Im sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race" is the most horrible thing to hear on TAR haha

Looks like the first 3 eliminations are all TAR14 alumni. So much for having 5 teams from that season!

This can mostly b contributed 2 probability.

Sorry to tell you that you fell into a fallacy, because the probability for three consecutive S14 teams to be eliminated is close to 6%.

True, but the first three eliminations of a S14 team had probabilities of 45.5%, 40% and 33%. That's still pretty high odds if you are in Vegas...

It's better odds, so you know you're not going to get a huge payday from it. It's like horse racing - you pick the underdog and the underdog wins, you're getting a fortune. You play it safe by picking the horse that has the best odds to win and it wins? You don't get as much.

Colombia has been visited by TARLA before and it hasn't been touched by TAR. Conclusion: there are different security standards for different versions of TAR.

I also suspect that insurance costs to shoot in certain locales have gone up as the overall TAR Classic budget has been reduced. I'm still kind of impressed that they were able to film in Sri Lanka during something of a lull in Tamil Tiger activity. IMO, that's a more dangerous place than Indonesia or Colombia.

Back to the squees. I'm very glad to see Kynt and Vyxsin for a second time around. They're one of those teams that amused me with seemingly random skill sets like Vyxsin's cheerful "I used to macrame" or Kynt breaking out his old high school marching band moves on a Detour task.

Even though I'm sad that Jamie/Cara are possibly gone, and there are still three teams I do not like at all and could stand to see them eliminated...back-to-back...I still feel it'll be a great season, even it's just by the locations.

yeah, but those are individual probablities, you have to multiply each of those, so it really is 6%, because what is being said is that three consecutive S14 teams being eliminated, based on probability, is very low

So would that be 11! - 3! = ?? Never mind.....I already got a headache just thinking about it.
